Truck Stop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berliner Luft kann trocken sein, wir wussten nicht wohin.
So′n Typ im schnieken Anzug kam nach der Sendung rein
Wenn jemand von Euch Lust hat, ich lad Euch alle ein.
Wir ham nicht lang gefackelt, und fuhren alle mit.
So um die 30 Leute war'n auf dem Westerntrip
Wir kamen in Old Texas-Town aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus.
Chorus
Old Texas-Town die Westernstadt liegt mitten in Berlin.
Cowboys feiern überall, egal wohin sie ziehen.
Sie haben Spaß am Feiern und einem neuen Spleen.
Old Texas-Town die Westernstadt liegt mitten in Berlin.
Zur Begrüßung gab's Tequilla, zum Abschluß gab es Wein.
Die Steaks war'n zart und saftig, wir hauten kräftig rein.
Alles amüsierte sich, bis zum Morgengraun
Als irgendjemand aufstand, mal nach den Cowboys schaun.
Cisco war im Pferdestall, Lucius an der Bar.
Teddy im "Red Light Saloon", Erich nicht mehr da
Uwe im Gefängnis und ich war in der Bank
Auf dem Weg zurück nach Hamburg, war′n alle ziemlich krank.
Chorus
Old Texas-Town die Westernstadt liegt mitten in Berlin.
Cowboys feiern überall, egal wohin sie ziehen.
Sie haben Spaß am Feiern und einem neuen Spleen.
Old Texas-Town die Westernstadt liegt mitten in Berlin.
